	abstract = {Many advances in the understanding of insect-plant interactions have come from examining particular taxa or systems in isolation. Here, we examine the contribution of studies on remote oceanic islands to our understanding of insect-plant interactions. For ecological and evolutionary studies, island systems offer a number of advantages that stem from their isolation, small size, well-defined boundaries, and that they can be used as replicate systems. Unlike recent introductions to islands where many of the insect herbivores show generalist associations, among indigenous species the majority are endemic and show varying levels of host specialization. We examine patterns of of host specialization, plant-associated diversification, cospeciation, symbiosis, and plant hybridization across a range of island systems, though most work to date has focused on the Macaronesian Islands and the Hawaiian archipelago. Advances in molecular and analytical approaches have opened new avenues for research, such as the ability to calibrate the ages of both insect and plant lineages and to examine the demographic history of individuals within populations. Island insect-plant systems illustrate that allopatric isolation in particular, but also host switching to related hosts, are important correlates of insect diversification. Observations of cospeciation are rare, but this may be a consequence of studying periods of rapid host adaptation and diversification in which patterns of cospeciation, if they exist, may be obscured. Island systems offer many opportunities to expand our understanding of factors that promote host-associated diversification, including the roles of internal and external symbionts and plant hybrids.},

	abstract = {Mutualisms are ubiquitous in nature, but constraints imposed by specialization may limit their ability to colonize novel environments synchronously. The ability of mutualisms to reassemble following disturbance is central to understanding their response to global change. Here, we demonstrate that a highly specialized pollination mutualism considered to be obligate (Phyllanthaceae: Glochidion; Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala) has colonized some of the world{\textquoteright}s most isolated archipelagoes, and we record, to our knowledge, for the first time the presence of Epicephala moths from 19 host Glochidion species on 17 islands in the Pacific Ocean. Our findings appear to offer a remarkable example of mutualism persistence in an insect{\quotesinglbase}{\"A}{\`\i}plant interaction characterized by reciprocal specialization and mutual dependence. These findings also appear to contradict the island biogeography paradigm that taxa with specialized biotic interactions are unlikely to colonize oceanic islands.},
